This is a really interesting concept, and I like the idea of Neville and Hannah trying to bring everything together. That conversation - or maybe just parallel trains of thought - between Harry and Draco was especially well-observed :-)

I really enjoyed it. It seems fitting that Neville, who stood up to his friends, and Hannah, the Hufflepuff, were the ones to arrange this. I like how you addresses the issues between Slytherin and the other houses.

One tiny little nitpick: Even Vincent Crabbe, if he'll come.

It was Goyle who survived.

The Boy Who Annoyed Him Just By Existing LOL!

Of course, I loved the interaction between Harry and Draco, but wow - so many wonderful things in this. A brilliant premise (and appropriate title). I really liked the healing theme - mostly unspoken, but apparent - through all this.

Brava! Xx

What a great scenario! The scene in the pub with Harry and Draco was craftily done and Pansy's reaction at the party (how she maintained the same resentful bitterness as Lucius) was very believable without making her villainous. Overall, a wonderful story! :)

Oh I am so glad that you liked the prompt and produced this marvolous fic! I absolutely adored the whole thing from little details like Harry being so astounded at the idea of Neville being a father and his total obliviousness to any one at Hogwarts who wasn't in his imediate orbit to the big themes you addressed: healing, forgiveness, bitterness and struggle ( ... )
